Honor guard collapses while guarding casket of former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor

An honor guard could be seen collapsing while guarding the casket of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on live TV on Monday morning.

An honor guard collapsed on live TV Monday morning while guarding the casket of former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

The guard could be seen collapsing on TV during a broadcast of O'Connor's casket sitting in the court's Great Hall.

The live stream showed another honor guard quickly step in to fill his post as others helped the fallen guard. 

O'Connor, who was the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court, died in Phoenix on Dec. 1 at the age of 93.

The Court said O’Connor passed due to "complications related to advanced dementia, probably Alzheimer’s, and a respiratory illness." 

Monday's memorial ceremony included Supreme Court police officers carrying O'Connor's casket into the Great Hall as she lies in repose at the Supreme Court.
